The Kazan Helicopters of the Russian Helicopters holding (part of Rostec Corporation) played host to a visiting session of the Tatarstan State Council Committee for Economics, Investment, and Entrepreneurship and a round table discussion on “Digitalisation as a Factor in Increasing the Competitiveness of Industrial Enterprise”. The event was also attended by deputies of the Russian State Duma and representatives of Tatarstan’s executive authorities.
The guests toured the main production workshops of the company and the central inventory warehouse. The event participants were told about the digital transformation at the Kazan Helicopters: from working with electronic design documentation and organising the movement of components to after-sales services.
The Ansat helicopter has become the driver of digitalisation at the enterprise. Design documentation for the helicopter is prepared as an electronic 3D model and is approved by the enterprise’s services without paperwork. All parties involved in the creation of an aircraft work in a single information environment, which is adapted to the enterprise’s standards and processes and complies with GOST requirements.
Guests were also shown the assembly of the latest rotorcrafts, the Ansat, Mi-38, and Mi-8/17. A medical module for the medical version of the Ansat helicopter was presented. Ansat air ambulances equipped with lung ventilators are actively involved in the fight against COVID-19 throughout Russia.
